Todd McFarlane Creates New Characters For SHREK

The new SHREK game for Microsoft's Xbox game system features character contributions from Emmy winning producer/director, Todd McFarlane. "We are really excited about Todd's character contributions," said Vincent Bitetti, CEO of TDK Mediactive. "The twisted and quirky personalities that he incorporated into the game characters are a perfect match for the unique and irreverent humor of the game." Todd McFarlane collaborated with TDK Mediactive and developer Digital Illusions to create new, exclusive characters for SHREK for Xbox. The three new characters created by Todd are Humpty Dumpty as a half-cracked egg, the dastardly Dungeon Keeper and the cold and calculating Ice Cream Queen's ice cream. McFarlane's company, Todd McFarlane Productions, also has the master toy license for SHREK and has created a complete line of toys based on the film as well as new products that will be on retail shelves to coincide with the November 2, 2001 DVD/Home Video release.
